Ion generation and loading of a Penning trap using pulsed laser ablation

We investigated the production of aluminum and beryllium ions via pulsed laser ablation using 355 nm wavelength and 5 ns long laser pulses. The ablation threshold of Al ^+ and Be ^+ was measured to be 0.9 ± 0.1 (stat.) ± 0.3 (syst.) J cm ^−2 and 1.4 ± 0.1 (stat.) ± 0.4 (syst.) J cm ^−2 respectively....
